The Daily November 17th Wind, Rain, Dark

11.17.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 2 Comments

Tuesday November 17th 2015. Darkness, Darkness, winter rains whipped by high winds I hunker down inside my virtual life. Seeking the highlight through drawn shades. The lights blink like my attention span. Blips on my screen don’t respond the more I engage the more I feel it is a waste of time draining my emotional strength.

DSC_0057 S15 B-3 Stain Glass 8-17-15Image made in church have had a few very diverse feelings of what I am saying here from dark,  inspiring, sinister, sometimes I know what I want to say with an image. Other times it is the light the shapes leading to ambiguity. This is one frame not post processed except for size. August 17th a photo day with Roger I make this image thinking about the light and design of stained glass, a path to the light, seeking the high light. ISO 1600 1/80th at F-8.  From dark to light the windows lead or is it the other direction? Metaphors, Ambiguity a 1000 changing words. What do you see? 

The life of an artist is a dream drifting through images, words a visual language sometimes clear often ambiguous. A Wonderful Dream. I have been awake too much lately!

November 3rd the Life of an Artist and a Free Print.

Contest is over. Spend a moment with the images and thoughts.

Since my senior year at Coventry High I have lived life as an artist, seeing, pondering, communicating with visual words and verbal images.

SCAN0100 Ss15 sat+25 Cnst60 Drk25 Westford Vt 70sEarly travels to N.Vt a friends old house. An ad in Burlington Free Press a model to create emotions. Ad read call after 10 am, at 8:30 we took the phone off the hook 75 calls and I had booked Christine [funny I can’t remember names but 42 Years later hers pops right into my head] at 5-10 with expressive eyes the session produced wonder. Image made on Kodachrome.

bw-fine-CoseyBeachAmuseisborn-definedBut before Christine the muse was born on Cosey Beach E. Haven on my daily beach walk I found this young women we talked I created. We became friends and worked together a few more times. 1971 or ’72 I realized I could mirror my soul through a muse. 

DSC_0003 S15 B-3 Drk40 Cnst+60 8-15-15The road wasn’t always smooth often feeling as old as my Beetle Bug I plugged along too often needing a mechanic [Doctor] to keep me running. The Muse sometimes a women, sometimes a flower but The Muse is me.

TheKinksRayDaviesPreludetodemonAlcohol-1-31-77-36There were some Kinks along the way Ray here doing an intro to Demon  Alcohol drinking a Heineken, “Sad memories I can’t recall.” Dance, theater performing arts the muse moved. Time, space reflections real, surreal, abstraction and identity joined the muse in the dance of youth and creation.           enjoy pjc

Photographic Art  In the late 90’s I chanced to meet The Muse at lunch mid afternoon by 10am the next morning we were in my studio for two years we worked many times. It was always magic.

October 16th an Afternoon Stroll

10.25.2015 by Peter J. Crowley // 7 Comments

The days start slow coffee, meds eat, wait for meds to work play online. Second, third gear lunch. Out to the world the light is right it always is, State Street meander to Percival landing.

DSC_0045 S45 B-2 Shd Lgt20 HiLtDrk-20 10-16-15 Percival Landing often a destination to read, write but today the sun that shone when I left for the bus was replaced by a cool breeze and a hazy shade of winter. The table and chairs where I would sit and write have been moved indoor for the season. Winter is closing in, but the light was right it always is. The water the boats abstract reflections.

DSC_0039 S50 B-2 Cnst+60 Brt Shad Lgt Hi30 10-16-15I wonder is everything just a reflection? Light and shade create  reality the reflection different each time you look painted with a wider brush.  Summer dances on the ripples of Autumns chilly breath.

DSC_0040 RAW S40 B+2 G-2 R+2 Cnst+60 10-16-15Trying to catch a reflection of a gull cavorting above, not easy. Twenty minutes no gull. I walk on viewing the public art and shooting some skateboarders. A Molasses cookie at Traditions and back to the bus ninety minutes after getting off the bus I am heading home a good productive walk.  The light was right it always is………………………..
